AVG ZEN free uninstallation

I've tried to uninstall everything of AVG I have on my desktop computer (OS: Windows XP, 32-bit). So: Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > AVG Protection, clicked remove button, then I did the same for one more AVG (AVG security toolbar or something like that). I restarted my computer. Then I wanted to uninstall AVG ZEN. Did the same: Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > AVG, clicked remove button and I get the following message: "You cannot uninstall AVG Zen now. To uninstall AVG Zen, you must first uninstall the following AVG products that are integrated into AVG Zen: AVG Protection". The problem is that I uninstalled it (first I wanted to uninstall AVG (this is AVG Zen, I believe), but it said that I have to uninstall AVG Protection first, so i did, and now I get the same message. Please help me to uninstall AVG Zen.

Hello Domagoj,

If you have installed our AVG Zen Protection program you have to first uninstall the protection program and only then you can uninstall the Zen interface.
If the normal uninstallation procedure doesn't help then please use our AVG remover tool.
To download the AVG remover tool please click on this link: http://aa-download.avg.com/filedir/util/AVG_Remover.exe
2) Run the downloaded tool and follow the instructions displayed on your screen.

3) Your computer will be restarted automatically. After the restart, AVG Remover will finish the uninstallation.
NOTE: Once the AVG Remover Tool has done with its process. Please go to the C drive and look for a folder named as "AVG Remover" and I request you to delete it manually.

If you wish to install our AVG free antivirus program without Zen then please use the below link:
For 32 bit: http://files-download.avg.com/inst/mp/AVG_Antivirus_Free_x86_694.exe
For 64 bit: http://files-download.avg.com/inst/mp/AVG_Antivirus_Free_x64_693.exe to download the installer file.
Please feel free to contact us should you need any assistance.
